We are looking for charismatic individuals with a passion for gin and providing exceptional visitor experiences to join us as one of our prestigious Distillery Ambassadors!
Could this be the perfect opportunity for you?
Born in 2010, and distilled in the heart of our namesake city, Edinburgh Gin has established itself as a pioneer in craft and wonder-filled flavour. We have been consistently rated on Tripadvisor as one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions through an offering of innovative and engaging experiences.
Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, excitement is distilling as we look forward to opening our brand-new, state-of-the-art distillery at the Arches on East Market Street, where traditional craft meets innovation and we celebrate the art of gin-making amidst breath-taking views of Edinburgh’s skyline.
As we prepare to open the doors and showcase our brand-new Distillery to visitors from across the globe, we are delighted to now welcome applications for our Edinburgh Gin Distillery Ambassador – Visits Team.
As part of our Visits team, you will bring our world-class spirits to life; communicating our stories and Brand through the delivery of innovative tours, tastings and events, providing exceptional visitor experience in a warm and friendly environment.
Who We Are Looking For…
As a Distillery Ambassador, you will share our passion and enthusiasm for our product, brand and experiences, acting as a true advocate for Edinburgh Gin, with the visitor experience at the heart of all you do.
In this pivotal role, we are looking for an effective communicator who is a confident public speaker and able to truly engage with audiences (from small to large groups), using your own initiative and creativity to help bring our products and history to life, enhancing the visitor experience.
Our successful candidate will be a team player, who is also able to use their own initiative and has a positive work attitude. Our Distillery will be open 7 days per week and will include regular weekend and occasional evening work, therefore we are looking for candidates who can be flexible in their approach. Previous experience in a similar role would be advantageous but not essential as full training will be provided.
Due to the nature of our roles, candidates must be 18 or over and also be able to demonstrate that they currently have the required documents to live and work in the UK.
What We Will Provide You…
A permanent role with a guaranteed monthly income based on our annualised hours contract;
Flexibility with both full and part-time opportunities available;
A highly competitive hourly rate of £12.60;
A generous benefits package including enhanced annual leave, company pension scheme and product discount to name but a few.
Please note, that along with your CV, you will need to answer some key questions and submit a tailored cover letter, clearly outlining why your skills and previous experiences are a perfect fit to what we are looking for – remember this is your opportunity to make yourself stand out from the crowd!
Please note, this is an open application window therefore we may close the advert at any point depending on the candidate applications received so our recommendation is that you apply early to ensure you don’t miss out!
